Fear and Loathing in My Skin

This is probably going to sound strange, but it's the only description I can give about my skin issue. For the past 2 months, my skin has felt cheesy. I've always struggled with oily and acne prone skin, but this is different. For most of the summer, I actually had the oiliness under control. My facial skin was almost "normal," somewhere between oily and dry. Seriously, it was almost perfect except that I would still have acne breakouts. But now? Now it's cheesy, and unbearable. It's not oily, like it used to be. Which is why I'm using the term "cheesy." It's not greasy feeling, and I don't even see oil/grease most of the time (exception being when I'm sweating). My skin is not dry, either. It's almost, like, a thickness. I also say like cheese because the breakouts have suddenly increased during this time, mainly with closed comedones. At first, I thought maybe fungal acne, as I didn't really have the weird feeling in my skin right away - just this acne popping up that I couldn't control whatsoever. I also have thought maybe it's related closely to my sudden dandruff problem. That might important to mention, as it lined up almost perfectly with the sudden acne increase. My scalp is not dry, but my hair is also not becoming oily or greasy like it used to when I would have random dandruff problems. I just don't know what to do at this point, and can't find anything when I try to Google about it. If anyone has any ideas about what's going on or how to treat it, I'd be so grateful. I have never been to a dermatologist, and it will be quite awhile before I can even see a regular doctor to get the needed referral to see one. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure it out on my own (and maybe with someone's help here, if I'm lucky 🤞). Thanks! Ps: Follow for follow on Instagram and TikTok! I will be sure to follow back within 24hrs :) Instagram: @ugc.by.biffy1993 TikTok: @biffy1993

I would suggest trying to get a diagnosis from a derm, it sounds like a very specific condition you are dealing with. I went to a derm without a reference before, maybe try contacting a derm directly. But what it sounds like is general skin thickening on the scalp and face. With dandruff it is a fungus I believe. But for the face, especially since you mention the texture, it could be that skin cells aren't shedding off as usual? One guess is to use a gentle exfoliant.
